Seeing that he was gone, Hyun was lying on the ground on his back, breathing heavily. After running and shouting all afternoon, he was exhausted and his voice became hoarse. Without resting for a while, Hyun really had the strength to stand up. nothing.
Ning Sheng received Xuan's letter and mentioned Lei Xu, but Ning Sheng still didn't believe it. Lei Xu could be regarded as being promoted by him. He knew his character very well. Jiang Wu and Lei Xu had never dealt with each other, but in Lei Xu's eyes , Jiang Wu was just a child and always gave in to him, so Ning Sheng shelved Xuan's proposal to Lei Xu.
Within a few days, the capital began to search for the fool who had disappeared again.
After leaving the court, Jiang Wu and Mr. Hua walked out together. Mr. Hua sighed:
"I hope I won't be arrested as a refugee this time."
Just when Jiang Wu was about to say something, he suddenly remembered that there was a strange fool in his house. He said goodbye to Mr. Hua and hurried back to the house.
Returning to the mansion, I went to the courtyard where the servant lived. When I entered the courtyard, I saw a bunch of people gathered around the door of a room. Hyun's voice came from inside:
"I wait, I imagine, my soul has already been freed from stiffness, the sound of horse hooves rises and falls, oh yeah, oh yeah; the visible and invisible, the momentary eternity, the grass grows and the snow falls, oh yeah, oh yeah."
Jiang Wu pushed aside the people at the door and saw that Hyun was blindfolded, holding a rolling pin under her mouth, standing on the bed and saying oh yeah, waving the people away, entering the house and closing the door.
After hearing that there was no sound, Hyun shouted:
"Where's the applause? Where's your cheers?"
Jiang Wu crossed his arms on his chest. If the person in front of him was the so-called lost fool, he would believe it!
After waiting for a long time, there was still no sound. She pulled off the cloth and saw Jiang Wuzheng looking at her sinisterly. She quickly got off the bed, put on her shoes and stood in front of him, saying awkwardly:
"Master Jiang Jiang is back, um, uh, sit down."
Jiang Wu still didn't move and said coldly:
"The fool in the palace has gone missing again, and the emperor is looking for him everywhere anxiously."
Hyun's heart was in her throat. Sure enough, dealing with smart people has advantages and disadvantages. For example, now, Hyun really didn't want Jiang Wu to be so smart, and said with a silly smile:
"There are still fools in the palace. Aren't they all members of the royal family? Shouldn't everyone be a monkey?"
Jiang Wu let go of his arms and slowly walked to the table and sat down:
"This fool is a bit special. He is a refugee."
Having said this, he turned around and looked directly at Hyun.
Hyun swallowed secretly:
Sure enough, this joke can't be played a second time. Will it be bigger this time?
He said with a silly smile:
"Refugees? How can they be refugees? Refugees are still in the palace. Are you making fun of me, Mr. Jiang?"
Jiang Wu turned his head and looked at the ceiling with his head in one hand:
"I have heard a little bit about this fool. I heard that the emperor saw her dying and took pity on her, so he took her to the palace. However, the emperor doted on this fool. The emperor has never seen anything, how could he dote on a fool alone? Do you think it’s strange?”
Hyun's back was covered in cold sweat. He wondered if Jiang Wu would take action, if those secret guards could stop him before he killed her:
"The emperor's thoughts are not something someone like me can understand."
Jiang Wu stood up and walked in front of her. Hyun couldn't help but retreated, until he had no way to retreat until he reached the bed. Jiang Wu smiled slightly:
"You are a refugee, why can you understand Bang Youdao? Why can you understand Wu Shi San? Why do you want to persuade Ru Yuan to become an official? Why do some of the things you say tend to be biased towards the emperor?" He leaned down and was at the same level as Xun's line of sight. "Sometimes He is very smart, but sometimes he is so stupid that it makes people feel helpless. As far as I know, this fool can escape safely from the Queen's troubles several times. Moreover, King Yi and King Ji also like this fool very much. I am surprised. What is the fate of a fool? How can He De attract the emperor and the two princes?"
Hyun leaned back, his upper body further away from Jiang Wu:
"How do I know this? I have already told you that a person like me cannot guess the heart of a big shot like you."
Jiang Wu leaned down and Xuan leaned back again:
"Gan is very strange today. I didn't seem to say anything. Why is Gan so afraid of me? That day he poked my weak spots without any fear."
Hyun Yi clapped her hands:
"By the way, has Mr. Jiang quit taking medicine in the past few days? What I said that day is true. That thing called Five Stone Powder is harmful to all but useless. It is better to quit taking medicine as soon as possible. So, I wish Mr. Jiang to quit taking medicine as soon as possible!"
After saying that, he winked playfully and prepared to run away.
Jiang Wu carried him back by the scruff of his neck:
"Don't let this distract me," he asked her to stand in front of him, then leaned down to be at the same level as her, "I think I should call you Hyun. You also have a secret guard, right? I think it will be mine."
Who is the secret guard Ying or your secret guard Ying?"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sound of fighting around him. Hyun looked around nervously, really afraid of beating up the secret guards. Soon, some people walked out from the shadows intermittently. Hyun almost vomited blood when he saw it.
I beat five people individually!
His face turned red with anger, he threw away the rolling pin in his hand and turned to glare at Jiang Wu:
"Master Jiang, do you think this is fair for a dozen people versus five people?"
Jiang Wu folded his arms and leaned on the bed frame:
"Just win."
Hyun sneered:
"Master Jiang also said just now that the emperor, King Yi, and King Ji all favor me. I don't think Master Jiang can do anything to me casually, right? Although you nobles don't take the royal family seriously, you can't do it just because of a little big one.
Let’s break things up.”
Jiang Wu felt awkward hearing this. When he was thinking about what to do, he saw a figure flashing and he saw Huan rush into the middle of his guards, punching and kicking him. Of course, those guards did not dare to fight back, but Huan was not one of those people who just twisted.
A lady with embroidery needles, she felt uncomfortable being punched and kicked, and soon the guards were beaten until they were rolling all over the floor.
Jiang Wu's eyes widened, and so did the five guards' eyes.
Hyun put her messed up hair behind her ears and said to the five people:
"I don't care what happened if you were beaten when you were under King Ji, but you are still my people for the time being. Since you are my people, you cannot be beaten for nothing, and it is so unfair!"
Jiang Wu said, "We are not enemies. There is no need to treat each other as enemies." He raised his eyebrows. "Of course, if Lord Jiang thinks we are enemies, I don't mind using unconventional means to treat Lord Jiang."
Jiang Wu looked at the guard who was still rolling on the ground, then looked at Xuan who was no longer stupid at this time, and narrowed his eyes.
Hyuncai was too lazy to pay attention to what he was thinking, and sat on the edge of the bed calmly:
"I told Mr. Jiang that day that I came to steal land from Mr. Jiang. I will follow Mr. Hua's example and deduct the excess land and population of Jiang Mansion. What does Mr. Jiang think?"
Jiang Wu then remembered what Xuan said that day and waved his hand:
"It's impossible to dig the ground from me!"
Hyun look at those guards:
"I think there are some things that it would be better for us to talk about in private."
Jiang Wu looked at the people standing aside looking embarrassed and motioned for them to go out, and Xun also motioned for the five people to go out first.
After they all left, Hyun said:
"I know it is impossible to seize land from Jiang Mansion, but Mr. Jiang, you are different from Mr. Hua. Mr. Hua is a mediocre official and has not offended anyone in the court. But Mr. Jiang is different. Let's not talk about others. What will happen to Mr. Lei?
Do? Another one, Master Jiang should be able to guess that from the first day I entered Jiang Mansion, my brother knew what I was doing. If Mr. Jiang was like Mr. Hua, and someone found me in Jiang Mansion, there would probably be more than one person who wanted to make trouble for Master Jiang.
Master Lei, right?" He looked at Jiang Wu, thinking seriously, and relaxed. "The reason why we did this this time was also forced by the situation. Now the whole of China is in turmoil. It's okay for the time being, but it doesn't mean it will be okay forever. Maybe one day it will be okay.
A certain regime will come to visit us, "lean close to Jiang Wu" and visit us with swords and guns! Mr. Jiang is a smart man and understands what land means to a country. In such a situation where war may occur at any time, the treasury must be kept full.
Only when the national treasury is full can we develop productivity, so that more money will flow into the national treasury and we can make a lot of weapons. Armed with weapons, countries that want to cause trouble will have to weigh their concerns."
Jiang Wu lowered his head and looked at Xun, not sure whether these thoughts were Ning Sheng's or hers, but at least he was certain that the woman in front of him had influenced Ning Sheng. He couldn't understand how a woman could influence an emperor, but then he thought He also thought that he thought he had good concentration, but some of Hyun's words these days had really left a mark on his heart. Even some words that seemed to be spoken carelessly were deeply remembered by him.
His eyes couldn't help but darken:
What is this woman capable of?
Seeing Jiang Wu didn't speak, Hyun thought he was thinking about what she said, so he stood up and walked to Jiang Wu, looking up at him:
"Mr. Jiang, we have no intention of being hostile to Mr. Jiang. We are forced by the situation and have to do this. Although we have not gotten along with Mr. Jiang for a short time, I think Mr. Jiang is not a selfish person. In your heart, you still have Kun Yuguo. , the people of the Kunyu Kingdom, although the Kunyu Kingdom is destroyed, you may be able to escape to other places, but a golden nest and a silver nest are not as good as your own doghouse. Mr. Jiang, only when there is a country, there is a home. There are completed eggs under the overturned nest.”
Jiang Wu looked at Hyun smoothly, his eyes were still clear, like lake water, which could reflect his shadow. He really wanted to see through this clear water to see what was hidden inside, but there was nothing but clear water. .
Turning around and sitting on the edge of the bed, among the words that Hyun said, there was one sentence that Jiang Wu heard. It was what he had to face immediately, that is, there were many people who wanted to make things worse for him. If Ning Sheng did what he did to Mr. Hua, , he Jiang Wu and the entire Jiang family are doomed.
After thinking for a while, he looked at Hyun:
"What if I voluntarily hand over the excess land and population?"
Hyun Yi said sternly:
"I will ask my brother for the most favorable argument for you. I have said before that I am not Mr. Jiang's enemy, and there is no need to use the same methods as we treat enemies."
Jiang Wu believed in Yun inexplicably, and he couldn't figure out what was going on. Some people couldn't believe it after being with him for a lifetime, while some people believed him completely after only getting along with him for a while.
He stood up and said:
"Okay, as for what I should do, you can think about it and tell me when you think about it."
Then he threw away his hands and left.
Huan looked at Jiang Wu's back, blinked and smacked his eyes, and hurriedly chased after him:
"Isn't this what Mr. Jiang should do? Why did Mr. Jiang just give up on me? Mr. Jiang, are you trying to get rid of me as the shopkeeper?"
Seeing Hyun chasing after him foolishly, Jiang Wu felt inexplicably in a good mood:
Maybe we can actually try to be friends.
A few days later, a news broke in the capital: Jiang Wu had taken in the runaway fool and helped her heal and recuperate, but he did not know her identity. To express his apology, he offered a lot of land and the corresponding population to apologize to Ning Sheng.
What does it mean when a nobleman bows his head and apologizes to the royal family? Will the royal family finally be able to see the moonlight when the clouds clear? All levels of the entire Kunyu Kingdom are speculating. (To be continued)
